# Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilsmore's Return in a Space Project

The [Space project](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/2034/best-space-projects-of-nasa)s and the [onboarding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/85697/most-important-onboarding-strategies-for-office-employees) missions in the [international space](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114598/how-does-the-international-space-station-iss-benefit-from-nasa-s-research) world might be very dangerous as recently the astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore Starline returned from the International [Space Station](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/87410/indian-space-station-chandrayaan-4-plans-ready-for-govt-approval-isro) (ISS). Various missions sometimes get postponed due to some technical faults as the Boing's Starliner mission was about to return to Earth by June 14 however owing to a fault in the spacecraft, the return has been delayed indefinitely.

As per the mission details the spacecraft was launched on June 5 which also faced some glitches in its thrusters unfortunately, there was a problem propelling the spacecraft and the duo was struck. After some time it was informed that NASA might consider **SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft** was supposed to *return in February 2025*.

As the fault is running on the return of the astronaut is still an important question among [space agencies](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102205/how-do-space-agencies-plan-and-execute-space-missions) like NASA which could consider having [alternative](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2324/what-is-the-alternative-to-the-mvc) ways to bring them home soon. Adding the circulating stories of astronauts **Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore**, the online world is unveiling the ongoing situation from unsuitable spacesuits to deteriorating health on the ISS to any alternative ways of return.

## Three Dangerous Scenarios

**Scenario 1**: When we are talking about the first scenario then it means the failure of the thrusters and giving up the spacecraft with **96 hours of oxygen and power**. In the case when the Starliner's service module keeps the capsule at too steep a reentry angle, the amount of friction that will be released could cause the heat shield to fail. Ultimately the capsule may lead to burning in the [atmosphere](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2058/robin-wordsworth-re-creates-the-atmosphere-of-ancient-mars).

**Scenario 2**: Suppose the reentry angle is too shallow the capsule can be released into the Earth's atmosphere and be worked back into space. which means the [astronauts](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/87281/nasa-astronauts-transform-arizona-desert-into-training-ground-for-artemis-iii-moonwalk) will remain somewhere in the orbit.

**Scenario 3**: Suppose the thruster fails while returning from the space project then there could be a risk while returning from space. In that case, the astronauts could be released floating in space with limited oxygen and power.

The above explained are the three dangers the [space agency](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32252/cryogenic-engine-for-upper-stage-of-gslv-mk-iii-was-successfully-tested-by-which-space-agency) has revealed with the help of different [scientific](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1571/surprising-scientific-facts-about-girls) platforms.\
